STANTON'S SHORTAGE.
Conflicting Statements as to the Amount
The 0ffense Not Punishable in the Courts.

New YORK. April AT the Office of George
K. Sistare e. Son, the Broad.str brokers, it is
said that the firm has been notified that their
Detroit representative, Alexander NJ Stanton,
had left for parts unknown on Monday last. An
accountant has been sent to Detroit, and is now
examining the books of Mr.. Stanton. From ali
indications it seems there is a shortage of $780,
000 The firm say that it is singular that the
loss is so small, considering Stanton's opportun-
sties. The defalcaton seems to be in such shape
that Robert L. Stanton, Detroit millionaire
and brother of the defauter, is bound for nearly
the entire amount Alexander Stanton and his
family had high position in Detroit society.
and his wife is said to be completely Frustrated
by her husbands act. The agent of Sistare q
Son has been unable to obtain an interview with
her.
DETROIT, April 2.-The first notice of any
thing wrong in connection with A. NJ. Stanton
and George *. Sistare's Sons was in the morn
ing papers yesterday being in the shape of an
advertisement statihE that Mr.. Stanton was
longer connected with the company. This adj
vertlsement resulted in an investigation the
outcome of which was sent in these dispatches
last night. Mr.. Stanton left here early in the
week, announcing his intention to go to New
York. His friends insist that he is all right.
The best legal opinion is that Stanton has COM
mltted no offense punishable under the law.
Being partner in the nrm, and owning an indi-
vidual interest in the firm, he could not steal or
embezzle from himself; and in the eyes of the
law, he has simply overdrawn his account. The
accountant sent from New York to investigate
says the firm, in business way, desired Mr..
Stanton to have his customers protect the firm.
He did not comply, and an investigation de-
cided on. However, Mr. Stanton did not await
the result of this. but drew the firms balance of
$1,000 and fed He had been using the credit of
customers for private speculation. The short
age amounts to $28, 600 1t is not believed that
Stantons brother, mentioned in New York dis
patch, is able to help matters any.

Mrs. Loean.s Forthcoming Novel.

New YORK, April 1.-The Mail and Express
says ut was stated, to-day, on what is be-
lieved to be trustworthy authority that there
will be soon published a novel on Washington
society from the pen of Mrs. General Logan. So
far rs can be learned, the publishers have not
yet been selected, but the manuscript is COM
plete and ready for the printer. Mrs Logan is
now in Washington, having recovered her
health, and she is receiving large income from
the Generals book every month. It was learned
that it is not true that she has refused to allow
her friends to press the Logan pension bill next
year, or has requested that this should not be
DONE She has taken no action whatever In the
matter. A unexpectedly large demand has been
made the last few weeks for The Great Con-
spiracy,' and it is said a new edition of To- 900
will be put to press on Monday"

est Watering-Place Hotel in America.
MONTEREY, Cal, April 1.-The Hotel del
Monte discovered on fire shortly before
midnight. Everything was done to save it, but
without success. The magnificent hotel and
contents are total wreck. There were nearly
300 guests in the hotel, mostly Eastern people.
The fire was discovered quick enough to give all
an opportunity to escape. Most of the guests
lost all of their trunks and clothing. Those who
were not overcome by fright saved iewelry and
money. They were all huddled together on the
grounds. where they had to SILVER all night,
many of them having nothing more than their
night clothes. The heat from the flames of the
burning building kept them warm for time.
but the flames died out many ladies suffered
severely from the cold. All who could sought
refuge in local hotels. and arrangements have
been made by the railroad company to take them
to San Francisco early possible this morn
ing The hotel belonged to the Southern Pa
cifc Railway Company, and was considered the
handsomest watering-place hotel in America.
1t cost $3.50, GOO, and not insured. Charles
+. Croker, vice president of the Southern Pa
cifc company, was seen early this morning, and
said the hotel would be rebuilt, as it had proved
a very profitable investment.
